In Los Angeles ist Beamten der US-Einwanderungsbehörde (ICE) der Zutritt zum berühmten Dodger-Stadion verwehrt worden. Der Zutritt zum Gelände sei ihnen "von der Organisation verweigert" worden, hieß es in einer Erklärung der Dodgers, einem Team der Major League Baseball (MLB).

Overview

  • On June 19, the Los Angeles Dodgers barred ICE agents from accessing their parking lots before a scheduled game.
  • Social media footage showed a line of unmarked trucks and masked federal agents outside the stadium entrance as supporters chanted slogans against ICE.
  • ICE spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said agents were not conducting an operation and were responding to a broken-down vehicle on stadium grounds.
  • The Dodgers, who count more than 40 percent Latino fans among their base, had faced criticism for not publicly addressing ICE raids before this stand.
  • More than 30,000 people marched in downtown Los Angeles to protest President Trump’s immigration policies and the deployment of National Guard and Marine troops to the city.
